Botswana Premier League (BPL) new entrants, VTM FC, are crossing fingers over a deal to sign former Township Rollers’ duo, Lemponye ‘FC’ Tshireletso and Tlhalefo Molebatsi.

The duo left the record league champions at the end of last season following the expiry of their contracts. They have been on VTM’s radar and the team’s assistant coach, Onkemetse ‘Slinger’ Rannau confirmed that they have been offered contracts. Tshireletso and Molebatsi were part of the team’s squad over the weekend as VTM finished third in the Pre-Season Tournament held on Saturday at the VTM Arena. Rannau credited the two players’ impact in the squad during their short stint in pre-season preparations.

“If we can conclude our talks, they will have valuable impact in the team. They have that experience in the Premier League. Not taking anything from other experienced players in the team who were with us in the First Division, those are the type of players who would not struggle to play in the Premier League,” Rannau said. VTM has some bit of elite league experience among their ranks with former Rollers’ marksman, Bogosi Nfila, ex-Mochudi Centre Chiefs’s winger, Ayanda Molefhe and South African, Lucky Mokoena who was once in the books of Jwaneng Galaxy.
